We are committed to the work of The Great Commission in unreached regions, no matter the cost, through translation and teaching of God’s word, making disciples and cross-cultural church planting.
Dependence
We acknowledge our need to be utterly dependent on our Lord Jesus Christ in order to fulfil His Great Commission through faith, humble obedience and prayer. (John 15:5, Matt 28:16-20, Acts 1:8)
Identity
We find our identity in Christ alone. The work we do demands we give up whatever earthly identities we have attached to ourselves, and as Christ left his heavenly home to be part of the human race, we too must leave parts of ourselves to become relevant to another culture. (Gal 2:20,5:1)
Biblical Theology
We are committed to teaching the whole narrative of God’s Word, starting from the beginning, in order to build a firm foundation of truth. This approach promotes clarity of the gospel to minimise syncretism. (Luke 24:27)
Long term ministry
We believe that it is essential for cross-cultural workers to take the time to build relationships to become good communicators in the native language, and to understand the underlying beliefs of the community, in order to present a clear gospel message.
Culturally relevant
We believe it is essential for cross-cultural workers to learn the heart language and culture of the people to translate the word of God, in order to minister to their hearts in a way that is understood in a culturally appropriate manner. (Col 4:3-4)
Partnering with the local church
As part of the body of Christ we seek to serve and partner with His church however we can. Among other things, that means assisting churches to motivate and equip their members to work cross-culturally in Australia and overseas.
Teamwork
We believe in church planting teams that combine both foreign workers and local believers that come together as an expression of the body of Christ.
Creativity
We are committed to seeing the gospel preached, not just by traditional means but by all means. It is sometimes necessary to use creative businesses that will assist in our goal of seeing churches planted. (1 Cor. 9: 22-23, Acts 17:22-23)
Mature & reproducing churches
We seek to guide cross – cultural workers to plant churches that are mature in their faith and that have a vision for and are equipped to reach out to others affectively with the gospel, to see more mature churches planted. (1 Cor. 3:10 – 11)
